`The total number T of people at the sport's award banquet is ;


T=460\text{ people}

the capacity C of each table is given as;


C=8\text{ people/table}

To determine the number of tables N needed for the sport's award banquet, we will divide the total number of people by the capacity of each table;


N=(T)/(C)

Substituting the values of T and C, we have;


\begin{gathered} N=(460)/(8) \\ N=57.5 \\ N\approx58\text{ tables} \end{gathered}

The number of tables needed is 58 tables
